When I first started with the company, I didn’t think it was a bad place. I enjoyed going to work every day. The production manager that hired me was a good guy. I felt like he cared about the employees. Did the place have cliques and drama? Sure, but it was manageable. However, when new management came in, problems began immediately. It started with the promotion of someone else to production manager, who didn’t have any business being in that role. Things changed 4-5 times in a day. It got to where you didn’t know how much you were going to have to work in a week. You were told last minute when you did have to work overtime. It didn’t matter how good of a worker you were. If you weren’t part of the good ol boys and girls club, you weren’t getting promoted and everything was your fault. I left for greener pastures, and I am the happiest I have ever been at my current job.

Rules always changing, work is either boring and brain numbing while standing in place or boring while doing repetitive heavy lifting. Absolutely no hazard pay, pay is way below national average for similar jobs. Safety of employees is a facade. Terrible communication from management, job bids are a joke, no actual room for advancement unless you are related to someone or have similar ties. The company only cares about dollar signs. Constantly short staffed with ridiculous turn over rate. 

If you have a good work ethic and want your co-workers to become a part of your extended family then AES is the place to work. I worked there for 12 years and it was hard for me to leave. I only left because I got a golden opportunity to pursue a career in Archetrctieal drafting. 

Considering the type of work and what you're being exposed to they do not compensate well and get away with it because of where their located. Your skin, nails, clothes, and anything you bring in there will turn orange from the chemicals. In turn anything they touch will also change colors. We got a new washer because it turned orange. 

Production based work. The management was pretty much non existent. Communication was a problem. Work had to be a top priority. They did not take kindly if you had to take off work for any reason. The pay was good but the benefits weren't all that great. the insurance was expensive and after that it seemed like you were working for free.

You work with explosives, which is safer than you would expect because of the very strict rules.  It's not so sensitive that it would detonate if you drop something.   There are lots of rules and regulations that make normal task more difficult, but it's not too bad once you get used to it.

I worked for this company through the WorkForce Essentials Summer Youth Program. Although it was only for six weeks, my full-time work included a great boss, friendly coworkers, and a warm going away reception on our last day of work.

I was warmly welcomed and was thriving at the job but politics and lies soon created a bad environment to work in. As a majority the people we’re professional and fair but a few bad apples will spoil the bunch. 

False advertising. Said pay was $16.50 to $22. You actually top out at $18. The other half of the pay scale is supervisor. Good go workers and workload isn't much. Some heavy lifting but not a lot. Can be mind numbing if you are bored easily.
